Building The City Of Light Lyrics - Singles - Mike Scott

I set my shoulder to a brand new groove 

Building the city of light 

Something wonderful on the move 

Building the city of light 

I'm laying roots, planting seeds 

Building the city of light 

Grateful to give whatever it needs 

Building the city of light 

I'm using my head, using my heart 

Getting the balance right 

I've got the horse before the cart 

I'm using bricks and sticks and stones 

Building the city of light 

And sweat and soul and blood and bones 

Building the city of light 

Technology, imagination 

Building the city of light 

Trust, belief and dedication 

Building the city of light 

I'm using my brains, using my balls 

Keeping the goal in sight 

Feeling at heart a part of it all 

I'm writing songs, singing 'em out 

Building the city of light 

I live the things I'm singing about 

Building the city of light 

I'm working on myself and my stuff 

Building the city of light 

I just keep going when the going gets tough 

Building the city of light 

Facing my beast, facing my fears 

Loving the darkness bright 

I'm like a mirror when the shadow clears 

Got no politics, got no price 

Building the city of light 

I don't need saved, I don't need advice 

Building the city of light 

I don't need freed, I'm already free 

Building the city of light 

All the answers I need are inside me 

Building the city of light 

All may change in the blink of an eye 

All may change in the blink of an eye
